Thanks Ian, waiving back at ya ! ----------
Thanks Chuck, I sold my Victor quite a while ago and just recently replaced it with the Airfix kit, will be interested to see yours come together !
Needs VG's on both sides of the tail-plane, so copy these and insert on the other side !

The Valiant has a bit more traditional appearance when completed, but and beautiful also. The Victor looks like a grey whale (or any baleen type whale for that matter) with wings. Unusual yet elegant when in flight. Ungainly like most big bodied planes while on the ground.
The molds done, now to cast some resin !

Very impressive, Allan. It is that attention to the small details again that stands your builds out! This is a new technique to me - brilliant!
Thanks Paul, doing a similar thing with my F18 !
Blue tack around the molds and the resin bit done !
Resin bits thinned and trimmed !
Your work on these RAF builds is a lesson Allan. The great majority of modellers would never dream of setting their sights on this type of improvement! Brilliant stuff!
Thank you Paul.
This would have been easier done before the tail-plane halves were joined, now adjusting the depth to get the resin bits level !
Resin bits in with SG !
Attention to detail. A trademark, Allan!
Thanks Paul.
